Chapter Dues

The Fraternity's first rule of financial management is that every chapter is self-supporting. Money management
is each chapter's responsibility. Each college chapter decides its own dues, which are incorporated into the chapter bylaws.
The dues are set to include chapter expenditures such as supplies, events, sisterhood activities, Panhellenic dues, chapter
programs, and other budgeted items. All finances are handled by the college chapter chief financial officer. Each chapter
benefits from the help of an alumna finance advisor and a budget district director who serves on the district team and
works with other college chapters in their district.

No Assessment Policy

Kappa Alpha Theta does not allow any assessments of its members. All chapter programs are covered by the chapter
treasury. This means that each chapter is responsible for its own budget, and members know that they will not be called
upon for extra funds to finance chapter activities.

Facility Fee

The facility fee is paid by each member of the Fraternity to her local facility corporation.
This fee should be paid in accordance with the established schedule set forth by the facility corporation.

Theta Foundation Scholarships

All collegian and alumnae Thetas are eligible to apply for Kappa Alpha Theta Foundation scholarships to assist them in their
academic pursuits. More than $500,000 in merit- and need-based scholarship funding is awarded annually to Thetas in the U.S.
and Canada. Scholarship applications are available in the fall and due in early spring each year for the following academic year.
